Three‐Dimensional Ovary Model to Improve and Study Murine Follicle Growth

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
To develop new methods for fertility preservation in women, novel culture systems for small follicles need to be established. In this work, a poly(ethylene glycol) based scaffold, with appropriate mechanical and bioactive features to support mouse follicle and ovary cell growth is developed, and the formed cell‐follicle interactions are visualized ...

Transferrin Disassociates TCR from CD3 Signaling Apparatus to Promote Metastasis

Research
Immune recognition and activation by the peptide-laden major histocompatibility complex–T cell receptor (TCR)–CD3 complex is essential for anti-tumor immunity. Tumors may escape immune surveillance by dissembling the complex.

Enhanced Human Antigen‐Specific B Cell Responses Using In Vitro 3D Tonsil Cultures Containing Stromal Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We developed a fully human 3D tonsil cell culture system incorporating supportive stromal cells that better sustains and activates immune cells than conventional methods. The model generates stronger, more targeted antibody responses to viral antigens and vaccines, providing a physiologically relevant and entirely human platform for studying immune ...

THE ROLE OF SERUM TRANSFERRIN RECEPTORS MEASUREMENT

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2004
Background. The transferrin receptors are transmembrane proteins. They have a critical role in iron metabolism by controlling the flow of transferrin iron into body cells.

The Significance of Serum Transferrin Receptor Levels in the Diagnosis of the Coexistence of Anemia of Chronic Disease and Iron Deficiency Anemia

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Objective: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common cause of microcytic anemia throughout the world. Ferritin levels are good indicators of iron stores; however, levels may increase irrespective of iron stores in cases of chronic disease.

Mutations in human dynamin block an intermediate stage in coated vesicle formation [PDF]

, 1993
The role of human dynamin in receptor-mediated endocytosis was investigated by transient expression of GTP-binding domain mutants in mammalian cells. Using assays which detect intermediates in coated vesicle formation, the dynamin mutants were found to ...

Bioengineered 3D hPSC‐Cholangiocyte Ducts With Physiological Signals for Biliary Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Tian and colleagues generated a bioengineered bile duct from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived intrahepatic cholangiocytes within a high‐throughput, 384‐well platform to systematically examine the influence of biliary physiological signals including fluid flow, stromal cells and bile acids, and models intrahepatic biliary disease progression ...

Characterization of Tfrc-mutant mice with microcytic phenotypes

Blood Advances, 2018
: To identify novel regulators of erythropoiesis, we performed independent forward genetic screens using the chemical mutagen ENU in mice. Among progeny displaying microcytic red-cell phenotypes, 7 independent mouse strains harboring mutations within the
